Celestial Emperor of Devouring-Chapter 737 - 727: Divine Power Backlash

"Puh!"

After slaying Jing Tianyan, Gu Chenfeng had just retracted his ancient divine power when a mouthful of blood was spat out, making his face instantly pale as paper.

The terrifying aura from before had also become very weak, and his body swayed, on the verge of collapse.

One moment unharmed, the next severely injured.

"Not good! Master has suffered a divine power recoil!" Jiu You was shocked and immediately dashed over.

Supporting Gu Chenfeng, Jiu You asked anxiously and with concern, "Master, how are you? Let me help suppress it."

Jiu You was burning with anxiety, not thinking twice before intending to activate immortal power to help Gu Chenfeng suppress the recoiling divine power.

"No." Gu Chenfeng weakly said, "Your immortal power cannot suppress divine power."

Jiu You asked anxiously, "Then what should we do?"

"I’m fine, it’s just an excessive consumption of divine power causing a mild recoil. We must leave quickly, head back to the Immortal Mansion." Gu Chenfeng weakly said, then with a wave of his hand, the Storage Rings of Jing Tianyan and the Snow Shadow Guards flew over.

Jiu You secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then with a wave of his hand, a magnificent spiritual boat appeared out of thin air and immediately carried Gu Chenfeng away.

With Jiu You’s support, Gu Chenfeng sat cross-legged on the spiritual boat.

Jiu You then activated immortal power to assess Gu Chenfeng’s injuries.

He was startled at what he saw.

Not only had Gu Chenfeng suffered a divine power recoil, but his internal organs were severely damaged.

Jiu You was shocked, thinking, "Master’s injuries are indeed severe."

From the Eastern Emperor Palace until now, Gu Chenfeng had been constantly consuming ancient divine power. Even though there was some recovery during the period, it was nearly exhausted.

The battle between Gu Chenfeng and Jing Tianyan consumed the most ancient divine power.

To slay Jing Tianyan, Gu Chenfeng had to excessively consume ancient divine power, resulting in the body being unable to bear it.

Jiu You quickly took out a healing pill and gave it to Gu Chenfeng.

"Master, you must hold on." Jiu You exclaimed in panic, guarding nearby and constantly paying attention to Gu Chenfeng’s condition.

Gu Chenfeng nodded slightly and weakly said, "Don’t worry, I’m not going to die yet."

...

Chaos Immortal Hall.

A terrifying murderous aura swept out violently from the hall where Jing Tianyan was located.

"Gu Chenfeng! I will not spare you! If I don’t avenge this hatred, I swear I am not human!" Jing Tianyan roared furiously, murderous intent towering.

The disciples of the Chaos Immortal Hall were all terrified by Jing Tianyan’s terrifying murderous aura.

Jing Tianyan could not have imagined that everything meticulously arranged would end up being in vain.

To slay Gu Chenfeng, he did not hesitate to deploy Immortal Venerables to deplete Gu Chenfeng’s divine power, yet not only did it fail to slay Gu Chenfeng, but he was instead counter-killed by Gu Chenfeng.

In the great hall.

An Elder cautiously walked into the hall and said, "Young Master, this matter needs careful consideration. Gu Chenfeng’s power is truly frightening. If we act rashly, I’m afraid..."

Jing Tianyan suddenly turned around and glared at the Elder: "Afraid of what? I refuse to believe that with the combined power of the entire Chaos Immortal Hall, we can’t handle one Gu Chenfeng!"

"No matter how powerful Gu Chenfeng is, there must be a point where his power is exhausted. I don’t believe that deploying more powerful beings can’t exhaust his power!"

The Elder quickly responded, "Young Master, please calm down. That’s not what I meant. It’s just that Gu Chenfeng defeated the experts we dispatched with such ease. It would be extremely difficult to exhaust his power. We must act cautiously and devise a comprehensive plan."

Even when Jing Tianyan used the power of the Vice Hall Master, he still couldn’t completely deplete Gu Chenfeng’s power, proving it’s not easy.

Jing Tianyan squinted his eyes, sneered, and asked, "Then according to your view, what should we do?"

The Elder pondered for a moment and said, "Young Master, everyone has weaknesses, and Gu Chenfeng is no exception. Furthermore, we can also ally with other forces to jointly deal with him."

Jing Tianyan frowned and said coldly, "Ally with other forces? Wouldn’t that make us a laughing stock to others, showing we at the Chaos Immortal Hall have no one?"

The Elder stated, "Young Master, the priority is to eliminate Gu Chenfeng. Besides, given our Chaos Immortal Hall’s standing in the Immortal Realm, who would dare ridicule us?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Jing Tianyan thought for a moment, then coldly said, "Then do as you suggested, but act swiftly. We must not allow Gu Chenfeng’s power to become stronger. I don’t want to wait any longer."

The Elder took his orders and left.

Unfortunately, they didn’t know that Gu Chenfeng had already suffered from divine power recoil and was heavily injured.

If they acted at this moment, it might truly be possible to slay Gu Chenfeng.

...

On the other side.

The spiritual boat carrying Gu Chenfeng and Jiu You finally arrived at the Immortal Mansion.

The journey was very smooth.

Seeing Jiu You supporting the badly injured Gu Chenfeng, Ice Phoenix, Emperor Jiang, and Wang Chongtian were all taken aback.

"Master!" Emperor Jiang hurriedly ran up.

Ice Phoenix was both shocked and worried, asking, "Master, how did you get so severely injured? Senior Jiu You, what happened?"

"It’s nothing." Gu Chenfeng smiled weakly, "The recoil from divine power is not too severe, I will be fine in a few days."

Looking at the severely injured and weakened Gu Chenfeng, Demon Subduing held back his overwhelming anger and urgently asked, "Junior Brother, who on earth injured our master?"

Ye Jiuchong frowned and speculated, "The Ancestor has divine power protection. For him to be injured, could it be Void’s doing?"

Jiu You said gravely, shaking his head, "It wasn’t Void. It was the Chaos Immortal Hall’s Young Master, Jing Tianyan."

"Chaos Young Master!" Ice Phoenix and the others were all shocked.

Jiu You nodded and said angrily, "The Chaos Young Master carefully plotted, sending Immortal Emperors and Immortal Venerables to deplete Master’s divine power. Jing Tianyan even used the Demon Evil Power of a Late Stage Immortal Venerable to engage in a deadly battle with Master."

"Although Master killed them all, he excessively consumed divine power and suffered from a recoil. Master’s injuries are very severe, and the elixirs aren’t very effective."

Everyone was filled with anger upon hearing this.

Ice Phoenix’s eyes flashed with a cold light, saying chillingly, "That Jing Tianyan dares to be so bold. Once Master recovers, he must pay a heavy price!"

Demon Subduing gritted his teeth and said, "Chaos Immortal Hall is so despicable, sending an Early Stage Immortal Venerable to deplete Master’s divine power. They’ve gone too far!"

Ye Jiuchong’s expression was stern, "The power of Chaos Immortal Hall is terrifying. They injured Jiu You back then and have yet to give an explanation to the Immortal Mansion. Dealing with Chaos Immortal Hall is no easy task."

"Moreover, Jing Tianyan probably won’t give up easily. We must prepare for a countermeasure."

"Ye Jiuchong is right." Gu Chenfeng said weakly, "With our current strength, we can’t deal with Chaos Immortal Hall yet. Besides, they don’t know I’m injured, so they won’t dare to act rashly in the short term."

Tian Lin said solemnly, "Ancestor, the most important thing now is for you to heal and recover as soon as possible. We also need to improve our cultivation quickly."

Emperor Jiang and Demon Subduing nodded in agreement.

Ice Phoenix hastily said, "Master, let me help you inside to heal."
